This 1986 Ford F-250 XL is a 4×4 SuperCab model featuring a 6.9-liter diesel V8 with a dealer-installed Banks turbocharger, a three-speed automatic transmission, a two-speed transfer case, and two-tone paint over a tan cloth interior. The truck was reportedly special-ordered by its original owner and delivered by Ray Schultens Motors of The Dalles, Oregon on October 14, 1985. The seller acquired it in March 2019, reportedly from the daughter of its original owner, and subsequently performed rust repair and paintwork as well as an oil change. This F-250 is offered in Oregon with a deluxe Marti report, factory literature, a handwritten service and mileage log, an accident-free Carfax report, and a clean Arizona title in the seller’s name.

The truck is finished in Desert Tan Metallic with a Colonial White center section, aluminum and rubber moldings, a chrome front bumper, a painted rear bumper, and door-mounted trailer mirrors. The seller repaired rust around the rear cab window before repainting the hood and roof, replacing the window seal, and fitting new taillights.

A walk-around video is viewable above. White factory 16″ steel wheels wear chrome hubcaps and older Michelin XPS Traction tires, and are mounted over manually-locking hubs up front. A new mount holds a matching spare wheel with a Firestone tire to the pickup bed. A dealer badge from Schultens Ford is affixed to the tailgate.

The cab features a Chestnut cloth and vinyl front bench seat with split backrests, a vinyl-upholstered rear bench, and full carpeting as well as a color-matched dashboard with wood-style trim. The seller reportedly replaced the air conditioning blower motor but notes that the system does not blow cold air.

Features include a factory AM radio, an 85-mph speedometer, and a five-digit odometer that shows approximately 31k miles. Accessory turbo boost and exhaust temperature gauges are affixed to the top of the dashboard, while a trailer brake controller is mounted to the underside. The seller notes an inoperative high-beam indicator, cracks in the dome light housing, and a disconnected exhaust temperature gauge.

The diesel-fueled 6.9-liter V8 was supplied by International Harvester and is shown being started in the video above. The original owner had a Banks turbocharger installed by Northside Ford of Portland, Oregon in January 1987 at approximately 6k miles. The seller has reportedly performed an oil change, and a handwritten service and fuel log accompanies the truck.

Power is sent to the rear or all four wheels through a three-speed C6 automatic transmission, a dual-range transfer case, and 3.55:1 differentials including a Ford 10.25″ rear end.

The deluxe Marti report details the truck’s original features, and the Carfax report in the gallery shows no accidents or other damage in Oregon between 2008 and 2017. Factory literature is also included in the sale. A driving video is provided below.
